For our March meeting on field research, we gathered a number of field season planning resources that our members might find helpful. We are publishing these resources in this document and below the fold.

Graduate Women's Project Study Hall/Clothing Swap
4:50 PM
events
The Graduate Women's Project at Berkeley is hosting a study hall and clothing swap event (with food!) this Saturday, March 17th, 10am-4pm at Anthony Hall. Here's the announcement from the Graduate Women's Project coordinator:
The Graduate Women's Project is having a special Study Hall this weekend. As always, a light breakfast and lunch are provided. Anthony Hall will be open from 10AM to 4PM on Saturday, March 17. Come and enjoy a quiet, comfortable place to study.
In addition to the usual work session, we will be having the annual spring cleaning, closet exchange event. Everyone is encouraged to bring clothes, shoes and accessories that they are interested in trading/exchanging with others at the Study Hall. I will set up a table in the morning (probably on the patio) where folks can lay out their stuff and we can continue to trade throughout the day -- perhaps engaging in some more active interactions over lunch.
Ground rules: 1) You don't have to bring anything to take something you really like -- but reciprocity works best, in general! 2) Anything left over at the end of the day will donated to a local battered women's shelter. 3) Please bring items for donation only in a separate bag.
